Vibrant, fresh, red fruit and violets. Mid to light weight. Serve chilled imo. Decent summer red drinking.

Really like Barbera d'Asti, fun to drink. The wine is loaded with black fruit flavors and gives a nice jolt of spice. Blackberry and red plum flavors with a touch of sweet spice. Nice balance, medium finish ending with graphite notes. Great value you can even get some short term aging. Nice!!

Easy to drink, but it shows Barbera’s features with red flower and acidity. Drinkable, but it should be good later. 2021 @2400, SP, 221120

Medium bodied. Black cherry and plum. Clean acidity and almost no tannin. A great compliment to anything with a red sauce.

Hints of currant, strong smell of alcohol. Bitter and dry finish. Not bad with red meats. 13.95 at lawc. Wouldn’t get again.

Smooth fresh black berry with hint of tartness. A little flat of flavors and spicy of aroma. Well done vintage.

Serviceable for a barbera. Liked it, but it didn’t knock my socks off.
